25th Guitar Festival BCN: The Stranglers

The Stranglers' reach is so wide that discussions of them include that they were the opening act of the first British concerts of both the Ramones and Patti Smith in 1976, when they'd been together just two years, and that in 2012 they released 'Giants', their 17th album, free of nostalgia and filled with red hot blood. They were part of the precursors of UK punk, and so much more, which they'll show onstage as they look forward and back, as part of the Guitar Festival BCN.
